That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying it would be silly for me to buy a broken project car because I know nothing about them and perfectly working cars are available.
The people you're taking about have probably never heard of GitLab. They're surely quite happy with GitHub.
It would be like me going on CraigsList and emailing my neighbor selling his in- pieces old sports car and asking what the hell I'm supposed to do with a car in pieces.
I feel like I keep having this same conversation and it's always about git. People wanting things to be easier does not magically make them so.
When things "just work", more people uptake it.
Why? Development skills are not the same as Sys Admin Skills.
Github has been great to get people using source code control because it just works, including experienced devs, and new ones.
Still, everyone should be using source code control, no excuses. The only way to build that habit, early, often, for the newest and most experienced dev is to make it non existent to create and manage your repos. git init is fantastic.
What you're describing is akin to saying no one should drive a car if they can't design, improvise, fix, repair, and modify every part in the car themselves. It's just not something everyone spends a ton of time on, nor is it realistic, if I'm understanding you correctly.
There's little interest on my part beyond this on what is and isn't trivial.
